Bad Attatude pole from Dale's Jet Sports

[ski_crazy]

Is there anybody out there that runs the Bad Attitude handle pole from Dale's Jet Sports? I am looking for a pole that is different from what everybody else is using. I like the look of their hand pole Its kinda like a skinny version of an RRP pole. Any pros and cons to the Bad Attitude handle pole.

My buddy runs that pole. It is a very solid pole the only thing I don't like about it is the chin pad, but other than that it is nice.

What don't you like about the chinpad? Fit and finish or personal taste? Can it be fixed?

that pole looks sweet. I like that it's different as well.

The first time I saw it I didn't really like it. Now its growing on me. Not the cheapest pole but not the most expensive either.

The chin pad fits perfectly. But it is more of a personal taste thing I guess. I was just never really crazy about it. You certainly can't go wrong with this pole. My buddy has put it through hell and it hasn't budged in addition I think there is a warranty on it.

A buddy of mine has one on his SXR. He's managed to damage it pretty bad, but it's the only one he's had of many that he hasn't just flat out broken and can't use anymore. He's ********ing nuts.

Just get the RRP.

I think it is more suited for racing. A friend of mine bent his at the base and cracked the welds slightly. Getting it repaired locally was cheaper than mailing it back to TX.

Cuong has broken 2 of those!:shocked:

cuong wasnt running the rrp bracket when he broke those poles. now that he has the rrp bracket he hasnt had a problem.

Im not a huge fan of that pole for freeride
My ski was used for the mock up of that pole I have broken one in race conditions i cant imagine it standing uo to surf condition

Dale corrected the issue with it braking at the base by putting in some gussets.

I have 4 friends that run that pole on their race skis with no issues

pm me if you need more info

Dale called me today and said the only one he had come back for warranty was from someone riding in the surf, bailing and letting it hit the bottom. Other than that he told me there haven't been any problems with them.

Dale didn't tell me who it was but I figured it was somebody on here or that somebody here knew who it was.
